So successful has Barefoot Tess been, that Williamson and partner Susan Flinn plan to open a bricks-and-mortar store at 5724 Falls Road by the end of this month.

Too often, women with large shoe sizes are directed to "comfort" brands or athletic shoes as their only options, Williamson said. But their store sells shoes that are funky and fashionable, from such names as Lulu Guinness, Jeffrey Campbell, Patricia Green and Via Spiga. They're reasonably priced, too, Williamson said -- from $28 to $235.

And most importantly, the shoe fits.

See more shoes at www.barefoot tess.com. Barefoot Tess will have a pre-opening trunk show at the store on Wednesday from noon to 7:30 p.m.

And Chocolate Milk contains cocoa butter, oat protein and conditioning aloe.

Best of all: no jitters.

You can always change your mind

Hey, commitment-phobes! Want to punch up your hair but still have your natural color back the next day?

Streekers, temporary, vivid hair color, looks like permanent hair dye but washes out with the first shampoo. The color actually attaches to each strand of hair (instead of coating it like mascaras and gels) so you can brush, without dulling or flaking the color.
